Our home is on a headland close to Kerfany Les Pins and overlooking Kerfany Plage, one of the small villages along a 14-kilometre coastline that is indented with narrow wooded estuaries that hide the picturesque fishing ports of Bélon, Brigneau and Merrien. Hence the house name “La Pointe” as the house is the last before you disappear into the bay. This is an exceptional location amongst traditional Breton landscapes where the invigorating Atlantic air mingles with the peacefulness of the countryside. The nearest town, Moëlan Sur Mer is just a ten-minute drive and Pont-Aven is a further ten minutes away.
The
house has been extended and we now have a property that provides us with a high
level of comfort, privacy and quietness, and with amazing views over the ocean
and the estuary from the conservatory. The old barn that was attached to the
house has been restored and converted into two extra en-suite bedrooms, making
a total of seven thus we will be able to entertain our friends, an indoor heated
swimming pool with a Jacuzzi section and contra-currents. A library/office
with concertina floor to ceiling doors that lead onto a veranda. In the summer
months, with the doors open, our garden becomes part of the house. There is
nothing more relaxing than the combination of the sweet smell of fragrant
flowers and the sound of the waves breaking on the shore.
In Moëlan Sur Mer you can visit Chapelle St-Philibert et St-Roch which is situated near a 16th century Calvary and alongside the St-Roch fountain. A "Pardon" and "Fête de St-Philibert" (religious procession) (4th Sunday in August). Guided visits to Chapelle St-Philibert et St-Roch, are organized by the local Tourist Information Office, during Easter holidays and from June 15th to September 30th. You should also make time to visit some of the many menhirs (standing stones) that are close to us.
The tiny fishing port of Brigneau, where
pleasure craft shelter, and the creeks of Malacheppe, where narrow sandy
beaches alternate with rocky coast, are both only a 5 minute walk away. Just a
20-minute drive away the past meets the present in the charming village of
Pont-Aven, where Paul Gauguin painted and where you can find numerous art
galleries. A short walk leads into the “Bois d'Amour”, wooded gardens, which
have long provided inspiration to painters, poets and musicians. On your way to
“Bois d'Amour” take a stroll along Promenade Xavier-Grall, beside the Aven and
past the mill course and gates, which regulate the water to the mills and old
wash-houses scattered each side of the river. Footbridges span the river as it
rushes between the Porche-Menu rocks.
